Chapter 78 The Meeting to Judge Shimura Danzo
"Lord Hokage, if there's nothing else, I'll be going to take care of my business now."
Looking at Minato Namikaze's retreating figure, Gen Takuno could sense the anger within him and felt a pang of sympathy.
I doubt many people, even in their past lives, had ever seen Minato Namikaze so enraged. Even during the Nine-Tails' rampage, Minato mostly remained calm and composed.
"Wait a moment, senpai," Minato Namikaze suddenly said.
Yuan Tuoye was taken aback, then quietly waited for instructions.
Minato Namikaze turned around and took out more than a dozen special ninja tools from the table, handing them to Takuno Minamoto.
"This is—" Gen Takuno looked at the specially made kunai in his hand, especially the one engraved with "Sword of Endurance and Love" on the top, his pupils contracted.
"Yes, these are the special kunai used in my Flying Thunder God Technique. Please distribute these to your subordinates. If anyone is found spreading the message, release a signal flare immediately, and I will rush to their location to provide support." Minato Namikaze said, revealing a somewhat sinister smile.
"I understand." Yuan Tuoye nodded, a little surprised.
Back when Minato Namikaze was Kakashi's mentor, he only gave him a specially made kunai, right?
They actually gave away more than a dozen kunai. Of course, these kunai will be taken back after this incident, but it shows how much Minato Namikaze values this matter.
To ensure a high success rate, he even had to do it himself.
After saying that, Yuan Tuoye left directly. He needed to notify the squad leader and the others to come and collect the ninja tools, and to give instructions on what to do after discovering the enemy.
It was evening after Gentsuno distributed the specially made ninja tools bearing the Flying Thunder God mark.
Yuan Tuoye raised an eyebrow as he watched the loud signal flare fired from Konoha. Had they discovered the other side so quickly?
After thinking for a while, he also rushed towards the direction of the signal flare.
When he arrived, he saw Minato Namikaze standing there, while the Anbu next to him were holding two ninjas who had lost the ability to resist.
"The eagle's here too." Minato Namikaze also noticed Takuno Minamoto at this moment.
"The Hokage's speed is really fast." Minamoto Takuno had rushed as fast as he could, but by the time he arrived, Namikaze Minato had already taken him down, probably without even giving him time to commit suicide.
Minato Namikaze chuckled, then asked, "Is it possible to determine who's behind them by examining their identities?"
Without saying a word, Yuan Tuoye walked up to the two ninjas who were still glaring angrily and extended his hand.
The two people opened their mouths and stuck out their tongues as if they were out of control.
Minato Namikaze also saw the sealing technique on their tongues at this moment.
"Is this the seal for eradicating the root of tongue calamity?" Minato Namikaze's pupils contracted slightly. Having such a seal would naturally prove their identities.
This sealing technique is a forced sealing technique that is only used by the Root.
So it really is Shimura Danzo?
Yuan Tuoye looked at the two people with some surprise. He had thought that the people of Root would have some means to commit suicide after being captured, but it seemed that they did not.
However, upon reflection, it makes sense. Root didn't show much, but judging from the actions of "Kō", Yamanaka Fu, Aburame Torune, and Sai, they certainly didn't prepare many suicide methods.
They probably thought that since they had already set up the seal to sever the root of the tongue disaster, preventing them from revealing any information about Konoha, even if they were captured, they wouldn't expose anything, so they relaxed their vigilance in this regard.
Unfortunately, if it's against external enemies, the Seal of the Extinction of the Tongue is indeed sufficient.
But what they need to investigate now is whether these two people belong to the root, and the seal of the root of the tongue disaster happens to be the irrefutable evidence!
"Hawk, has the other investigation been completed?" Minato Namikaze asked with his eyes closed.
"The investigation has covered more than 90% of the area, and it can be basically confirmed that Root did not participate in the Nine-Tails' attack at all, but remained holed up in Root's base," Gen Takuno replied.
"That's enough." Minato Namikaze opened his eyes, looked at the Anbu over there, and a resolute look appeared in his eyes.
"Take these two people to the Hokage's office. The rest of you, immediately notify all Jonin-level ninjas to come to the Hokage Building for a meeting, including the Third Hokage, the two advisors, and Danzo Shimura."
Yuan Tuoye was also taken aback upon hearing this. He was surprised by Namikaze Minato's lightning-fast reaction, which was so direct and quick!
It's already evening, why not wait until tomorrow?
"Hawk, come back with me. There's something I need you to do on your own." Minato Namikaze said, his hand already touching Takuno Minamoto's shoulder.
The next moment, Minato Namikaze and Takuno Minamoto disappeared from everyone's sight; it was the Flying Thunder God Technique.
The members of the Dark Guard exchanged glances, sensing that the dynamics within the Dark Guard might be about to change.
At the same time, their eyes were filled with excitement.
Because no dark part can like the root.
What is meant by "the dark side within the dark side"? Why is it that the Root, which is ostensibly part of the dark side, is not under their control at all, as if it were an independent entity?
We're all doing things in the shadows, so why are you treated so differently?
Therefore, when they saw that something had happened to the root, none of them felt sorry for the other side; instead, they were all eager to make trouble and gloating.
The Anbu members understood their comrade's thoughts, chuckled, and then began to inform the various important figures that the Fourth Hokage was going to hold an emergency meeting.
Inside the Hokage's office.
"Lord Hokage, is there anything else?" Minamoto Takuno asked at this moment.
"Senior, I need you to take some people to Root to handle some matters," Minato Namikaze said.
Gen Takuno glanced at Minato Namikaze. This time, the other party was indeed extremely angry, pursuing the matter so relentlessly that he had already made a decision before the meeting even began.
It could be said that Minato Namikaze merely informed them of the upcoming meeting, rather than discussing it with them.
Yuan Tuoye sighed and asked, "My subordinates aren't here right now, and they're not really suited for this kind of thing, are they?"
"Of course not them, but another ANBU. They're all in the village right now," Minato Namikaze replied, a cold glint in his eyes. "Senpai, take the other three departments and go directly to raid Root. Make sure you find as much evidence as possible."
Minato Namikaze said that although he could not touch Danzo Shimura after becoming Hokage, he could still glean some information about Danzo's past actions from those files, so he did not believe that there was absolutely no evidence of Danzo's crimes in his base.
Even if they really didn't, what they have now is enough to bring down the other party. Now it's just a matter of seeing what level of crime they can convict.
"Lord Hokage, if the Root ninjas resist—" Minamoto Takuno inquired, as this was a very likely possibility.
Minato Namikaze paused, closed his eyes as if hesitating, but quickly opened them and said, "Permission to kill on the spot is granted!"
"Yes!" Yuan Tuoye replied, a smile playing on his lips beneath the mask.
Now, even if the Root ninjas don't resist, he'll have to make them resist!
At this moment, Minato Namikaze also wrote a handwritten order and stamped it with the Hokage's seal, handing it to Takuno Minamoto. He hoped that the Root ninjas would be more self-disciplined after seeing this.
As Gen Takuno turned to head towards the Anbu base, Minato Namikaze suddenly remembered something and said, "Senpai, leave a shadow clone to attend the meeting."
"it is good."
After saying that, Gen Takuya left, and at the same time sent a shadow clone back to the sealing group to wait for the ANBU's notification to attend the meeting.
Minato Namikaze stood by the window, observing everything in Konoha.
He felt a bit scared at that moment.
If he hadn't sent Gen Takuno to investigate the movements of the Nine-Tails' Root organization, he wouldn't have been able to learn about their statements so quickly.
If this statement were to spread, its impact on him would be immense, but on Kushina Uzumaki and Naruto, who would likely live under the constant scrutiny and gossip of the villagers.
This is something he absolutely cannot accept. He must nip such remarks in the bud and give Shimura Danzo, who spread these remarks, the necessary punishment!
The Konoha Jonin gradually arrived at the Hokage Building's conference room.
It's been a long time since the Hokage directly used the Anbu to notify them to attend an emergency meeting; who knows what has happened now.
Could it be that another country has attacked? But they haven't received any news about it.
As they whispered and speculated, the Third Hokage and his two advisors walked in.
Their arrival did not surprise the Jonin, but the person who walked in after them made everyone pause for a moment.
It was Shimura Danzo?!
Was he actually invited to this emergency meeting?
It's important to know that the other party doesn't usually attend regular meetings.
After Shimura Danzo walked in, he first looked around, and finally his gaze fell on Gen Takuno sitting in the corner. He couldn't help but snort coldly, but in this environment, he obviously couldn't say anything more, so he walked to the front seat and sat down.
The Third Hokage looked around; Minato Namikaze hadn't arrived yet.
He was also a little puzzled, not understanding what could possibly warrant such a large-scale mobilization from Minato Namikaze, and he had not received any prior notice.
It can be said that almost all the Jonin, except those who are still on missions outside, are here.
Of course, one Jonin should be excluded from this list: Orochimaru. After the Fourth Hokage took over, he basically stopped coming out of the laboratory.
The Third Hokage didn't force him to come over; after all, it was better to let him immerse himself in research than to cause trouble for Minato Namikaze everywhere.
Perhaps there's been some unexpected situation?
The Third Hokage thought to himself.
Of everyone present, perhaps only Yuan Tuoye's shadow clone knew what was about to happen, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited.
At this moment, Minato Namikaze finally walked in, wearing the divine robes bearing the inscription of the Fourth Hokage.
After Minato Namikaze sat in the front seat, he looked around at the faces and, after confirming that most of the ninjas had arrived, he spoke.
"Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend this meeting. Now let's get straight to the main topic of this meeting."
Minato Namikaze's eyes flickered as he spoke.
"Is there any need for the roots to still exist in Konoha?"
As soon as Minato Namikaze finished speaking, the entire arena fell silent, and they couldn't help but look at Danzo Shimura on the other side.
Especially Fugaku Uchiha, whose self-light shone brightly after Minato Namikaze finished speaking!
